Excellent question. I have lots of thoughts, so I'll try to summarize. 1. This is just the reality of negotiation: sometimes you'll find out you're pretty far apart when they finally make an offer. The value of your time matt

I completely understand what you're saying: This is exactly why I wrote my book and courses, and why I offer 1-on-1 coaching. And I focus very heavily on providing real tactics, templates, worksheets, scripts, and examples to make the

Hi everyone! That's me you hear talking to Patrick ;) If you have any questions about the episode or salary negotiation in general, ask away! As you can probably tell, I love talking about this stuff!

Good question. - The main assumption is you should counter and we're just figuring out the right amount. - It's assuming that you will not take the job for less than your "minimum acceptable salary", so that's bas

This response makes me wonder why you don't just tell the candidate the range you're willing to pay and let them tell you if that works for them. I definitely understand the need to be efficient with everyone's time, but &quo

Yes. Wait for them to make you an offer. It can be difficult, but the reward for your persistence will be more money in the form of a higher base salary (the gift that keeps on giving). You have very little unique information when you enter

It's tough to decide where to leave this reply, and this seems like a good place to address a few things I've seen in the replies to my comment. Usually, my advice is "don't share you current or desired salary", but

This seems very, very plausible to me. Jobs in this experience level and pay range aren't generally posted publicly, and don't stay posted very long if they do go public. This reminds of the same sort of phenomenon with "the

I'm not an Amazonian, but I wanted to chime in here to say I think this thread is a great idea and I would love to see more like it. I write about salary negotiation and coach people through it, and I think sharing salaries publicly wi

I've seen your book mentioned a lot of places (Product Hunt, I think Hiten Shah mentioned it on Twitter, Facebook ads in the sidebar). How much of that did you plan/execute and how much "just happened"? Maybe the broader
